　　Ⅱ.阅读理解people would not test medicines on animals.Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time­consuming for people.Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge.That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.

　　Europe, on the whole, has the world's most restrictive laws on animal experiments. Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research.Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year.But that is misleading.The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher.Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.

　　Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs.Alternatives to animal testing, such as using human tissue or computer models, are now strongly recommended.In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested, the work never sees the light of day.This practice means wasting time, money, and animals' lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.

　　Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives.It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer.Europe' s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.

　　16．What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A．The success of animal experiments should be ensured.

　　B．Ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.

　　C．Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.

　　D．Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.

　　17．Which of the following statements is true about animals used in the lab?

　　A．America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.

　　B．Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.

　　C．Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.

　　D．Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.

　　18．Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?

　　A．Statistical studies.

　　B．Computer models.

　　C．DNA planted in animals.

　　D．Tissue from dead animals.

　　19．What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?

　　A．They are not revealed to the public.

　　B．They are made into teaching materials.

　　C．They are collected for future publication.

　　D．They are not removed from the research topic list.

　　B

　　Today we will explain a very old saying that has had a big influence on rock­and­roll music. That saying is “A rolling stone gathers no moss”．It has several meanings. One meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. Another is that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.

　　This proverb was said to be first used in the 1500s. But in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rock­and­roll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.

　　Experts say it all started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. He was one of the country's top blues musicians until his death in 1983. His music influenced singers like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. In 1950, Muddy Waters recorded a song called “Rolling Stone”．d themselves “the world's greatest rock­and­roll band”．Bob Dylan released his song “Like a Rolling Stone”．It is one of his best known and most influential works.n her own，“with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”．a young man named Jann Wenner started a magazine and he named it “Rolling Stone”．The magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. By 1971，“Rolling Stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. It is still popular today.

　　20．Which person can be described as a rolling stone according to the proverb?

　　A．A person who always changes his jobs.

　　B．A person who has a successful career.

　　C．A person who has no family.

　　D．A person who is out of work.

　　21．All of them are musicians except ________．

　　A．Elvis Presley

　　B．Bob Dylan

　　C．Muddy Waters

　　课时作业(五)　考查冠词的用法。in trouble 处于困境中；lose heart 失去信心。　考查非谓语动词的用法。devote的逻辑主语就是主句的主语Principal White, 后面有宾语all his energy，所以用现在分词表主动。　考set up 成立，建立，符合句意。 pack up 包起来；add up 加起来； come up 出现。　考查副词词义辨析。句意：我不能说自己是最好的，相对而言，我只是比别人付出更多努力而已。definitely意为“肯定地，当然地，明确地”；relatively意为“相对地，比较地”；obviously意为“显然地”；certainly意为“当然，一定”。根据句意可知B项正确。　考查形容词辨析acceptable可接受的，与to搭配，符合句意。available 可用的； considerable相当多(或大、重要等)的； practical 实际的。　考查动词的时态和语态。根据句意可知，reward所表示的动作发生在“donated”这一动作之前，所以用过去完成时；分析句子结构可知，“reward”与“the two nurses”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态。故选D。A　考查动词短语辨析。句 turn to 求助于；look for 寻找； deal with 处理； talk about 谈论。　考查动词的时态和定语从句。句意：在过去这30年中，我们已经见证了……，故用现在完成时；stage作先行词，后面的定语从句中缺少地点状语，所以用where。　考查动词的时态。句意：已经成立一个工作小组去调查这个问题了。故用现在完成时的被动语态。　考查动词的用法。escape后跟动名词作宾语；由于主语the little boy是burn动作的承受者，所以要用动名词的被动式。　考查副词用法。根据本句后半部分的内容可知这座岛屿在春天和秋天同样吸引人，所以用equally表示“相等地，同样”。　考查固定搭配。将句子成分great trouble放回原处，即have trouble(in) doing可知答案是D。13．B　考查倒装结构。句意：只有在他们讨论这个问题好几个小时之后他们才作出决定。only修饰时间状语从句且位于句首时，主句应采用部分倒装的形式。根据状语从句的时态可以确定主句应用一般过去时态。故选B。　考查名词短语的连词功能。the first time相当于一个连词，意为“第一次……”。　考查词语辨析。句意：她假装镇静但实际上在被提问时她十分紧张。 actually 实际上，相 in fact, as a matter of fact。用动物进行试验被人们的舆论推向了风口浪尖，然而，受诸多因素的影响，终止动物实验的道路依然任重而道远。尽管欧洲有严格的法律限制，但是仍然需要另找突破口。　主旨大意题。文章第一段指出用动物进行试验难以杜绝的原因，第二段提到欧洲对动物实验的法律限制的效果并不理想，第三段讲了欧洲为限制动物实验所作出的努力，最后一段提到欧洲的新措施应该既要减少用于C项最能概括文章大意。　正误判断题。第二段的最后一句提到日本和中国与美国的数据相比甚至更不全面，由此可推知日本对每年用于实验室动物的数据记录有限。　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的内容可知可用“人体组织”和“电脑模型”来取代动物实验。　推理判断题。根据第三段中的倒数第二、第三句可知，科学家们只分享成功的试验，如果结果与本文讲述的是谚语A rolling stone gathers no moss.“滚石不生苔，改行不攒财”对滚石音乐的影响以及《滚石》杂志的诞生。　 推理判断题。从第一段的最后两句话可知这句谚语有两种含义，一种是那些不安心待在某个地方的人不会成功，另一种是那些扎不下来根儿的人不负责任。A项指的是经常换工作的人，符合题意。D　细节理解题。根据第三段可知Elvis Presley，Bob Dylan和Muddy Waters都是音乐家；根据最后一段可知Jann Wenner是开办杂志《滚石》的人。故选D。　细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Experts say it all started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters.”可知，rolling stone作为音乐的名字最早是被Muddy Waters使用的。：we held an English Handwriting Competition. Many students took an active part in the activity.

　　However, some students who are poor at handwriting don't want to improve their handwriting. The reasons are as follows：they think that there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting because they can just use a computer. On the other hand, they believe that they are too busy with their studies to find time to practice. Besides, practicing handwriting is so difficult that they can't make great progress in a short time.

　　In my view, students' beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial to themselves. What's more, good handwriting is always appreciated by people, especially by teachers. Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.
